WARNINGS:
•
It is important that users of this tester read, understand, and follow all warnings,
cautions, safety information, and instructions in this manual before operating or
servicing this tester. Failure to follow instructions could result in death or serious injury.
•
Risk of electric shock and burn. Contact with live circuits could result in death or
serious injury.
•
Use caution with voltages above 30V AC as a shock hazard may exist.
•
A blinking or steady red glow and an audible beep indicate voltage present. If no
indication, voltage could still be present.
•
Before and after each use, verify operation by testing a known working circuit that
is within the rating of this unit.
•
Never assume neutral or ground wires are de-energized.
•
The tester
WILL NOT
detect voltage if:
•
the wire is shielded.
•
the operator is not grounded or is otherwise isolated from an effective earth ground.
•
the voltage is DC.
•
The tester
MAY NOT
detect voltage if:
•
the user is not holding the tester.
•
the user is insulated from the tester with a glove or other materials.
•
the wire is partially buried or in a grounded metal conduit.
•
the tester is at a distance from the voltage source.
•
the fi eld created by the voltage source is being blocked, dampened, or
otherwise interfered with.
•
the frequency of the voltage is not a perfect sine wave between 50 and 500Hz.
•
the tester is outside of operation conditions (listed in Specifi cations section).
•
Operation may be affected by differences in socket design and insulation thickness
and type.
•
In bright light conditions, the LED visual indicators will be less visible.
•
Do not use if green LED is not illuminated.
•
Do not use if tester appears damaged or if the tester is not operating properly. If in
doubt, replace the tester.
•
Do not apply more than the rated voltage as marked on the tester (1000 volts AC).
•
Detection above 50V is specifi ed under “normal” conditions as specifi ed below.
The tester may detect at a different threshold at different conditions, or may not
detect at all unless:
•
The tip of the tester is within 0.25” of an AC voltage source radiating unimpeded.
•
The user is holding the body of the tester with his or her bare hand.
•
The user is standing on or connected to earth ground.
•
The air humidity is nominal (50% relative humidity).
•
The tester is held still.
•
Always wear approved eye protection.
•
Comply with local and national safety requirements.
•
If this product is used in a manner not specifi ed by the manufacturer,
protection provided by the product may be affected.
CAUTION:
•
Do not attempt to repair this tester. It contains no serviceable parts.
•
Do not expose the product to extremes in temperature or high humidity.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
Turn unit on:
Press and hold the power button for ½ second, then release.
Listen for single-beep sound and
watch for a steady green LED to illuminate in the tip of the tester. The tester is now activated and is
operational. Test on known live circuit to verify tester functionality. See
Silent Mode
for additional
power-on options.
Turn unit off:
Press and hold the power button for ½ second
. Listen for a double-beep sound and watch the
“power on” green LED turn off. The tester is now deactivated and is not operational.
The “power on” green LED visually confi rms battery suffi ciency, system integrity, and operation/active
mode. Always test on known live circuit to verify tester functionality prior to and after each use.
System self-test:
The “power on” green LED visually confi rms battery suffi ciency, system integrity, and operation/active
mode. Always test on known live circuit to verify tester functionality prior to and after each use.
Checking for the presence of AC voltage:
Prior to and after each use, test on known live circuit to verify tester functionality. Place tip of the
tester near an AC voltage. If the tester detects voltage, the “power on” LED in the tip of the tester
changes color from green to red and a continual beeping sound is generated.
Voltage Range
50 TO 1000 VOLTS AC
Audible
High-pitched continuous beeping sound
Visual
Green LED Turns OFF and Red LED illuminates continuously
Low battery indication:
Scenario 1 – Powering on the tester: The “power on” LED in the tip of the tester changes from a
steady green to a blinking green and a series of beeping sounds is generated. The tester then turns
off. The unit is now deactivated and is not operational; the batteries require replacement. To replace
the tester batteries refer to the
Maintenance
section titled “
Maintenance section titled “Maintenance
Battery Replacement
.”
Battery Replacement
.”
.”Battery Replacement
Scenario 2 – Operating the tester: If the LED lights dim and the tone fades, the tester may require new
batteries. To replace the tester batteries refer to the
Maintenance
section titled “
Maintenance section titled “Maintenance
Battery Replacement.
”
Auto power off:
After 4 minutes of non-use, the tester automatically powers off to conserve battery life. Listen for a
double-beep sound and watch the “power on” green LED turn off. The tester is now deactivated and
is not operational.
Silent mode:
The tester can be operated with only visual indication of voltage. With the tester powered off, press
and hold the power button for 2 seconds.
MAINTENANCE:
Battery replacement:
•
Orient the tool/tester with the pocket-clip facing you.
•
Gently depress the tab, Fig. 2, until you can slide the end-cap off the main body of the tester.
•
Remove the batteries using caution to prevent damage or injury to the internal components.
•
Replace with two
AAA 1.5 volt or IEC LR03 or NEDA 24A batteries.
•
Place batteries into tester with the positive terminals facing the tip, Fig. 3.
•
Carefully align and slide the end-cap onto the body of the tester, Fig. 4. Push the cap until it is fully
seated (denoted by a clicking sound), Fig. 4.
•
Note:
Hold pocket-clip on cap close to tester body while sliding cap onto tester.
•
Test on known live circuit to verify tester functionality.
